Which movie's right for you this weekend? Saving Mr. Banks? American Hustle? Walking with Dinosaurs? Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues? Fandango Chief Correspondent Dave Karger breaks them down with a little help from Paul Rudd.

American Hustle tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper).

If only there was a time machine that would take me back to a time before I saw this movie.

PROS: Excellent cast & acting, decent music.

Going into the movie, you wanted it to be good. As it dragged on, you begged for...

American Hustle

By tuvera

Truly enjoyed this film. A Scorcese-like film without the brutality, nice. Enjoyed the intelligent script, the quick dialogue, and the genuine 70s look. I highly recommend this movie....

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP

THERE WAS SO MUCH HYPE SURROUNDING THIS MOVIE THAT I DECIDED TO GO SEE IT OUT OF CURIOSITY...THE LINE UP OF A LIST MOVIE STARS WAS ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS I WANTED TO SEE IT, BUT LET ME TELL U THE...

A Sting Wanna Be

By jaygol

The premise/story line here is excellent. As such, it should have resulted in an outstanding movie. Think "The Sting." However, IMHO, the movie suffers from poor editing. At least a half hour of...

The movie's hype was better than the film. The film was slow at best, in fact at one point it put me to sleep ( no joke). Would have walked out but am a big Christian Bale fan (Batman trilogy, et al)...

Wish it was an HBO series. Didn't want it to end!

What a wild ride. American Hustle is like that mysteriously sexy lover you found out was batsh*t crazy only after you were hooked. I've seen just about every award nominated film of 2013 from "The...

American Hustle

Highly entertaining! Christian Bale was fantastic in his role so different from anything he has ever done. There really wasn't a moment that lagged in this movie. It had a lot of action without the...

One of the most stylishly, flawlessly, executed motion pictures in years!

By HoodCritic1

This is a masterpiece from writer/director David O. Russell. He takes his game to a Scorsese-like level with this film about con-artists, federal agents, political corruption and mobsters and start...

Good acting but way too slow and drawn out

By Andreole

Have no idea why someone would use the word "comedy" in conjunction with this movie. There was very little of anything that was funny. The plot twist was unimaginative. The actors did a good job...

Delicious romp through the hair, clothes and attitudes of the late 1970's, with elements of "The Sting" thrown in for good measure

By David Edwards

Totally engrossing from start to finish - who is hustling who?
The plot revolves around a couple of small time con artists (Adams, Bale) who get caught up in the much bigger con of "Abscam." As...
